Article Commentary: “CTP-Defined Large Core Is a Better Predictor of Poor Outcome for Endovascular Treatment Than ASPECTS-Defined Large Core”
The authors of the present study address an important and topical question: What is the best imaging modality to define large core infarcts? Over the last 2 years, multiple RCTs (RESCUE-Japan Limit, ANGEL-ASPECT, SELECT-2) have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large core infarcts. These studies used a combination of modalities to define large core, including non-contrast head CT (NCCT) using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS), as well as
